Default how to pull a dent

so i was at a car show in which i took first place and i guess someone got pissed and kicked a dent in the side of my car at the left corner of the passenger side scoop...any suggestion on how to pull it out...its not in a joint or anything and i cant figure out how to get to the back side of it...ive took out the back seats and tried getting under the car...

That chicken, yellow bellied, weak *******. Very frustrating. I am getting fired up sitting at my desk. I have fixed dents from the outside with toilet plungers, shower/window suction cups, and other various household tools, it will always leave a little crease where the edges of the dent was, it is not a perfect science.

A picture is worth a thousand words though to know where your dent is.

You can find someone who does the paintless dent removal. It works well i had a small dent on my passenger side door on my stang and i knew a guy who does it and he got it out no problem in like 5 mintues and doesnt leave any marks. Im actually getting ready to start doing it so if ya wanna bring it down here ill get it out for ya but a long drive for only 5-10 minutes worth of work lol.

You can get a suction style dent puller from an auto store for less than $10, they grip a lot better than the plunger or shower cup. The only thing I've found that grips better is a professional glass moving handle, but they are not cheap and this does very well. Just clean the area and make sure its wet so you get max grip and pull gently. If the dent isn't severe this can make it like new, if the metal is folded there is nothing that will make it perfect, its the nature of plastic deformation, but you can get it pretty close without filler, etc. Other than that you have to drill if you can't get behind it. Then go find and kill the lousy c***sucker who did that.
